MARBLE,
Louvina (nee
HUDDLESTON)
It
is with deep regret we chronicle the death of Mrs. C. H. Marble, who
after a short illness at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Geo. Schricker,
was taken to the St. Joseph hospital in Rice Lake, where she passed
away Friday, May 14, 1937. Mrs. Marble had not been in good
health for some time, but her last illness and death came as a great
shock to her host of friends and relatives. The deceased had been
a resident of this vicinity for 35 years and had a larger number of
acquaintances in the county than most anyone now living here, and, with
her wonderful memory concerning folks, could tell some incidents
concerning each acquaintance. Few, if any, who enjoyed her
acquaintance but could tell of some act of "good neighborliness," she
had shown them.
Louvina
Huddleston was born in Washington, Ill., Dec. 1st, 1861.
She was married to C. H. Marble in Ponca, Nebraska, March 28th,
1882. To this union four children were born, two of whom died in
early childhood and two survive her. They are H. E. Marble and
Mrs. Geo. Schricker, both of this vicinity. She is also survived
by one step-daughter Mrs. Frank Hayden of Webster and six grandchildren
and two great grandchildren.
Mr.
and Mrs. Marble came to Wisconsin in 1902 and settled on a farm 2
1/2 miles north of Shell Lake where they resided until 1931 when they
moved to Shell Lake where they resided until their demise.
The
funeral services were held from the Shell Lake M. E. church Monday,
May 17, at two o'clock. Rev. Lockhart officiated. Interment
was in the Shell Lake cemetery by the side of her husband, C. H. Marble
who preceded her in death, Sept. 30, 1936. A large number of
friends extend sympathy to the bereaved relatives.

MAUSHAMMER, Laurenz A.
Young Man Victim of Carbon Monoxide Gas on Monday
Laurenz A. Maushammer, 20, was the victim of carbon monoxide gas on
Monday morning of this week, June 5, when he apparently was overcome by
the deadly fumes in the garage at the Hugo Lorenz farm, southwest of
this city. The tragic death of this young man came as a sad shock
to relatives and friends.
Maushammer was living with his uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Hugo
Lorenz, and on Monday evidently went into the garage where he started
his car while the garage doors were closed. It appears that he
was listening to the radio when stricken by the fumes, for the car and
radio were still running when his lifeless body was found by Mrs.
Lorenz and son Hugo, when they returned from this city at about 10:30
that forenoon. They summoned medical help at once, but all
possible efforts to revive the youth proved of no avail.
Deceased was born in the town of Bashaw on April 14, 1919, and about a
year later the family moved to St. Paul, where he lived until last
February when he came to live at the Lorenz home in the town of Bashaw.
He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Maushammer of St. Paul,
three brothers, Joseph of Racine and Robert and Alfred of St. Paul,
four sisters, Mrs. Harry Bradley of Grand Forks, S. D., Mrs. Bert
Iverson, Helen and Jesslyn Maushammer of St. Paul.
The remains were shipped to St. Paul where services will be held this
Thursday, June 8, from St. Agnes church. Interment will be made at
Calvery cemetery.

- Donated by Cynthia
GONE TO HER REWARD
Mrs. W. P. Monroe, for 14 years a resident of Spooner, passed away
Friday noon at 12:15 o'clock at her home after a prolonged illness of
cancer. A short service was held at the home Saturday afternoon. Rev.
J. T. Kneen officiated. The remains were taken on the evening train to
Hammond, Wis., where funeral services were held Sunday morning at
10:30. Rev. A. D. Willett, a classmate of her son, Noel Monroe
officiated.
Eda M. Gates was born at Berkshire, Vt., July 14, 1857. At the age of
five years she with her parents moved to Hammond, Wis. On June 1,
1886, Miss Gates was married to W. P. Monroe. Three children were born
to them. A daughter, Hallie, died in 1908, age 16 years. Another
daughter died in infancy, and one son, Noel G. Monroe, who graduated
from Lawrence university at Appleton, and is now attending Harvard
medical school at Boston, Mass., and who was at the bedside with his
father when the end came.
From early girlhood Mrs. Monroe was an active member of the M. E.
church and upon coming to Spooner affiliated with the church here.
Thus becoming one of the earliest members in which she so long worked
and from which she has now gone to join the "Church Triumphant."
Mrs. Monroe was an estimable woman. She was loved by all who knew her,
was a noble wife, and most kind and loving mother. Her death is deeply
mourned by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She will be
greatly missed by the Ladies' Aid of the M. E. church and the Foreign
Missionary societies, both of which she was a faithful worker. She was
always ready to render service to her neighbors and friends in time of
sorrow. Her motto, "Lift up your burden. It is God's gift; bear it
nobly," was most wonderfully worked out by her.
Besides her husband and son, she is survived by three sisters, Mrs.
John Binnings of Tacoma, Wash.; Mrs. George Stone of Hayden Lake,
Idaho; Mrs. J. Freeman, Spokane, Wash., one brother, George Gates of
Hillyard, Wash.
The Advocate joins the many friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved husband and son in their sorrow.

MOREY, Ben Franklin
BEN FRANKLIN MOREY CALLED BEYOND
News of the death of Ben Franklin Morey, 15-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Dane P. Morey of Trego, was received here last Saturday, June 10,
with deep regret by the many friends of the family, the youth having
passed away early that morning at St. Mary's hospital in Duluth, Minn.,
where he had been receiving medical treatment for a number of days.
The passing of this boy, in the very flower of youth, comes as a sad
blow to relatives and friends alike, leaving an aching void in the
hearts of all, a wound that only time will serve to heal in a measure
at least. The heartfelt sympathy of all goes out to the sorely
bereaved relatives in the hours of their deep loss.
Ben Franklin Morey, oldest son of Mr. and Mrs. D. P. Morey, was born at
Trego on April 9, 1924. He spent all his life in that community
completing the course in the Trego schools and entering the Spooner
high school as a freshman last fall. Possessing a friendly nature
and displaying a kindly disposition to all with whom he associated, he
was popularly known among his schoolmates and others. He was a
dutiful son and kind brother.
Ben was taken ill on Monday of last week, being taken to the hospital
in Duluth on Tuesday where everything possible could be done for him,
but his condition gradually grew worse, and death exacted its precious
toll early Saturday.
Surviving are the parents and two brothers, Robert and Dale.
Funeral services were held from the Catholic church in Trego on Monday,
June 12, Rev. Fr. Rivers officiating, and interment was made in the
cemetery at Trego. A large number of people attended the last sad
rites, thus paying their respects to the memory of the departed one.
